MTV Interviews 2Pac Hologram Creator

2Pac’s back. And thanks to Nick Smith of AV Concepts, he brought him back last night at Coachella. MTV interviewed Smith on how he resurrected Afeni’s baby boy.

“We worked with Dr. Dre on this and it was Dre’s vision to bring this back to life,” said Nick Smith, president of AV Concepts, the San Diego company that created the hologram. It was his idea from the very beginning and we worked with him and his camp to utilize the technology to make it come to life. You can take their likenesses and voice and … take people that haven’t done concerts before or perform music they haven’t sung and digitally recreate it.

The Tupac hologram was several months in the planning and took nearly four months to create in a studio and though Smith was not able to reveal the exact price tag for the illusion, he said a comparable one could cost anywhere from $100,000 to more than $400,000 to pull off. “I can’t say how much that event cost, but I can say it’s affordable in the sense that if we had to bring entertainers around the world and create concerts across the country, we could put [artists] in every venue in the country,”

DAMN!! I was hoping the $10M price I read earlier was true so that this technology isn’t abused in the near future.. but I guess it would only be a matter of time before something like this would be readily available for use on a large scale..

Countdown to the announcement of a Michael Jackson hologram tour…..
